lemme know how you like it all :mcool:

[njpnoy05]

stop teasing nigga. what wheels!? i like the drop

[ep3jd]

stop teasing nigga. what wheels!? i like the drop

i refuse to tell until the cars clean and everything is set up for a photoshoot! they're nothing crazy, but i don't think i've seen any other ep3s with 'em! but thanks, racelands do go low! haha but the back DEFINITELY needs to be raised up and a degree or so more of negative camber needs to be dialed in. i also needs a roll. those racelands are pretty damn bouncy haha

[RHCP0801]

i need to see these wheels

[ep3jd]

i need to see these wheels

Haha, I was going to picture message you but I'd rather show you in person. I still need to get 2 more tires mounted and ballanced. I was just seeing if I liked the fitment with those. and I do, lol. Should be all together by next week. The front fits good but the rears gonna need a serious roll so I'll probablydo that within the next few days

Come to 110 next week and they should be on my car braaaah

[Onasty]

gotta see them...

[ep3jd]

Its funny that my two local ep friends are function > form and I'm over here with all these ebay parts. I wish I was still a baller and could afford my k24 build now :(

You'll see the wheels next week bro! Better come through, you and adam

[RHCP0801]

110 when and where lol

[ep3jd]

dave and buster's, by the movie theater. probably gonna have them on by saturday. maybe some time durring the week. like 4/7 days a week theres a shit ton of kids there. never any ep3s though lol

[RHCP0801]

let me know when one is coming up

[ep3jd]

I don't even know when people meet up there. Its honestly like any given day of the week haha but my friend with a cobalt sc knows what's good with those meets so I'll let you know. I do have to replace my trailing arm though, which sucks dick

[ep3jd]

so i only had two dz101 which i got for dirt cheap, expecting to pick up 2 more when i had the cash, and mounted those for a test fit. loved the size, loved the stretch, but unfortunately no one can find me 2 more which is weird. discounttiredirect.com didnt even have any. so i got 2 nitto neogens for the other 2 wheels... but the stretch isnt nearly as nice as the dz101 in the pictures. so i'm sad. haha. but i'm gonna have to pick up 2 more neogens and keep the dz101 as spare, or sell them, because i can't bring myself to have mis matched tires on my new wheels. thats my story. just thought i'd share. hahah

[RHCP0801]

lol the tires are so good so its worth it

[ep3jd]

the next wheels i want are going to be 17x8.5 +30 so i'll just get 205/40s on those and i'll be happy with the stretch :mbiggrin:

but they'll be 5 lug so that aint happenin anytime soon lol

[ep3jd]

UPDATE:

have gotten my wheels on, fenders rolled, skunk2 control arms in, and added a rear tow hook that serves absolutely NO purpose :mtongue:

pics to come within the next few days everyone!!:mbiggrin:

[ep3jd]

new photo added. someone from longisland with a nice camera please get in touch with me, i just want some legitimate photos.. lol

thanks bro!

[ep3jd]

just got my HFP rear lip, waiting on my exhaust. I'm a dumb ass and didn't do any research as to weather or no the Megan drift spec exhaust will hit the lip or not but if it does I'm sure I'll make it work somehow.


RHCP0801 and I are planning a k24/k20 swap for me over this winter so there will be updates as I source parts and start piecing this all together.

[twistdcody]

[dirtyMETHOD]

looking good. Definitely post more pics.

[trippy]

wsup! how u been homie ? u dont text me anymore lol

[ep3jd]

Thanks guys. I haven't had a chance to take photos really because I'm not okay with the condition of the car. Some body work is getting done soon and I'll probably take some shots.. Also getting different wheels. The car is too low with this set up and not flush enough for my taste.. Maybe something 9" wide?


And john my bad hahaha I've been really distracted and haven't even focused on the ep3 for a while. I'll hit you up and tell you about my new wheel set up ;)

[02TWSI]

hint hint, 18racing.com has them :)

[si.hatch]

very very clean!

what kind of grille is that? is it a jdm thing or aftermarket?

[ep3jd]

Thank you! I don't have a grill in those photos. I got that JDM bumper because I got backed into and it seemed like good idea to go JDM. Probably looks different because my ac condenser is black unlike the oem one because when I got backed into the condenser and rad got punctured so I replaced them.

[si.hatch]

ohh ok i see it now, it looked like a horizontal bar in the middle with some mesh behind it

[ep3jd]

Someone should give me some suggestions because I'm super bored at work and in one of those mood, ya know

But don't suggest anything pertaining to wheels because I just picked up some awesome shit for that department :)

[ep3jd]

you guys suck. lol

[RHCP0801]

you should get some axles

[ep3jd]

you should get some axles

And some tires. Lol. Probably going to reuse the pads and rotors because I'm a cheap fuck.
